Description: Beginning in 2015 the department will be managing Kenai Chinook runs using the ARIS sonar located at river mile 14, instead of the DIDSON sonar located at river mile 8.6. The 2013 and 2014 data provided below are ARIS sonar estimates from rm 14. The ARIS sonar estimates will be updated twice weekly. The daily estimates represent Chinook salmon of all age and size classes. This ARIS sonar estimate is used to measure total run abundance relative to the optimum escapement goal of 5,300-9,000 early-run Chinook salmon and the sustainable escapement goal of 15,000-30,000 late-run Chinook salmon. To view daily estimates about Chinook salmon passage go to the Abundance Indices tab, which is updated as data becomes available. The inseason run summary tab will provide information about Chinook salmon passage at the mile 14 ARIS sonar site , netting project, creel survey, water conditions and management actions twice each week. Information about the status of the run and inseason management actions are also available by telephone at (907) 262-9097.

The ARIS threshold estimate is an estimate for fish targets that are measured to be 750 millimeters (30 inches) or greater in METF length. These estimates are a daily index of the relative abundance of Chinook salmon passage past the mile 14 ARIS sonar site.

The Net Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE) is an index of the numbers of Chinook salmon moving into the Kenai River and is based on the rate at which Chinook salmon are captured by the netting project conducted river mile 8.6.

The Eastside Setnet Catch per Unit Effort (CPUE) is an index of the total number of late-run Kenai River Chinook salmon.

Late
Run Kenai River Chinook Inseason Summary
for Fri. Jul 31

Chinook Salmon Run Update:

On July 30, the daily estimated passage was 419 Chinook salmon for a season total of 16,354 Chinook salmon.
Inseason run projections are stronger than expected and indicate a run larger than the pre-season forecast. Through July 30, the estimated total passage of late-run king salmon at the river mile 14 sonar was 16,354 fish. In the previous two years using the ARIS sonar, 59% and 57% of the run passed the sonar site at river mile 14 through July 30. Through July 30 the projected inriver run of late-run Kenai River king salmon (which includes the projected season total inriver harvest of king salmon downstream of the sonar) is 27,000 to 29,400 fish. Mean run-timing projections of the sport harvest with the use of bait result in a projected end of season escapement of 22,900 to 28,400 fish. The escapement goal range for Kenai River Chinook salmon is 15,000 – 30,000 fish.

By regulation, the king salmon fishing season ends Friday, July 31.
The next regular update is planned for Tuesday, August 4.

Fishery Update:

Fishing effort and catch rates declined this week. Chinook salmon captured in the netting program this week were primarily older, larger Chinook salmon.
Under existing regulations fishing for Chinook salmon is closed for the season at 11:59 p.m., Friday, July 31st.
During 2015 fishing for Chinook salmon was allowed in the Kenai River with restrictions and can be found in the emergency orders below:

Water clarity: Good within tidal influence; the latest visibility reading was 0.75 meters at the river mile 8.6 netting site. Excellent above tidal influence; the latest visibility reading was 1.0 meters at river mile 15.3.Water flow/current: 13,700 ft3/sec today vs. 50 yr. average (14,600 ft3/ sec).Water temperature: On July 30 the water temperature was 54.0°F at river mile 15.3.
